Life Lately

13 July, 2012



Apologies for the random pictures. They were taken in May, but when I look at them I realize how little my life has changed. If I could describe it in one word, it would be "routine". This is good. This is something I've needed for a long time. To be either on my way to work, at work or not at work. Not all of the three at once, confused by which one of them I should pay the most attention to. 

Sometimes I quench my rainy-summer-day blues in cooking, like making yesterdays onion soup. It took me about three hours to finish it and left my hair, clothes and the entire apartment smelling with onion and butter. Sigurd loved it, and said that it would have been divine with the white wine that was intended with the recipe but which we didn't have. Anyways, it cured our sore throats.


I've really got the hang of my spotmatic. And to be honest I don't want to ever stop using it, even though I don't want to completely abandon its stepsister, the nikon, either. At the same time I'm trying to figure out how to post my analog photos with the delay that the development of film requires. Oh, how I wish that those mom-and-pop photo shops with the one-hour development services could come back.

    1. Great pictures Anna. They keep getting better and better!
      How about only having the negatives deloped and using a negative scanner? I think it is the faster and cheaper way. Afterwards you can still decide to get prints from your favourites...

    2. Thanks for visiting Maja! I'm so glad you liked them! That is exactly what I was doing up until now, but the lab that I used was a little unreliable ( I was there four times and they either a) could not find my film rolls or b) didn't open the shop as they say they would, so I keep waiting until I HAD to leave for work). So now I'm confined to the big photography chain stores that charge for scanning and prints and not to mention they are slooooow (7-10 days).

  3. Lovely pictures! I would spend all day cooking too this summer if I had more time. Work takes up more of my life than I really need it to.
